Tabitha Knight
Creative
Portland,OR
Summary
Howdy! My name is Tabitha, I am a highly motivated creative, that is truly in the pursuit of peace. Life has given me an extremely rounded portfolio of experience. In 2019, I started my LLC "Knight Vision" and then over the course of the last 5 years, developed "Tabasaurus." I operate Tabasaurus solely, and mange two vendor booths of products, plus an online shop. I have a keen eye for sourcing unique products in literally any field. Growing up in thrift stores, I have a knack spotting treasure, which has translated beautifully into vintage reselling.
100% honesty; I am unfortunately dealing with a grip of invisible disabilities. Currently I am on disability and my ability to work is very limited. I have been medically cleared to work for up to 4 hours, but not two days in a row. I can sometimes push my boundaries, but I try to listen to my body as I am still fighting for a sense of normalcy. I will always be completely honest about that with everyone, including myself, which is a task in itself as you may be able to relate.
